Riker: Geordi! What the hell is going on?!?
Picard: Someone remove the lightbulb. Conference!
In the Conference room:
Troi: (Putting her hand on the dead bulb.) I feel...pain.
Worf: The bulb is useless now, Captain. Let me dispose of it.
(Unholsters phaser and adjusts it to "OBLITERATE"
setting.)
Data: (Thinking about what Worf said:) Captain, if I were to
become non-functional like this bulb, would I receive a
regular burial or would I be disposed of like...
Picard: Oh Shut up, Data. Hold your fire, Mr. Worf. Where is
Mr. LaForge?
Geordi: (Stepping into the room.) Here, Captain. I'm afraid
we're out of light bulbs. Who needs light anyway? With
my VISOR, I can clearly see despite the absence of
visible light.
Beverly: I can surgically remove everyone's eyes and outfit us all
with VISORs...
Wesley: No way, Mom. Wait! I got it! I'll build us a
positronic kreiger-wave-condensing incandescent light
generator!
Riker: Excellent, Wes. By the way, what the hell are you doing
in this meeting? This is for senior officers only!
Worf, put Ensign Crusher in the brig!
Worf: (To Wesley, grinning.) You will walk or I will carry
you!
Beverly: You're not touching my son!
Everyone lurches. Outside, two Borg ships begin attacking the
Enterprise. Everyone rushes to the bridge. Q suddenly appears on
the bridge in a flash of light.
Q: Oh...Sorry! (Snaps fingers again--bulb is restored.)
Until next time! (A Flash of light and Q disappears.)
Picard: (Hands restored bulb to Wesley.) Mr. Crusher, prepare to
screw in the light bulb.
Wesley: Aye, Captain. (Holds bulb in position over bulb socket.)
